Nearby Wunderground Station Conditions on Personal Site??
« on: October 19, 2012, 12:06:59 PM »
I'm wanting to get some local data from other weather stations that are uploading to a site whether it be Wunderground or wherever...Is this possible?

Thanks! 8-)

Hi Joseph,

Well, you can embed each station you want into your page by the rapid fire embed code. If you wan't people's realtime data you would have to experiment with the realtime.txt or other realtime file.

Hope this helps...

I'm just looking for a script that shows maybe current temperature for some towns in my area through weather stations? WUnderground I heard has something like that but i haven't found it.

I think it is the Wundermap in Weather Underground's Maps & Radar tab http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/

You may need to use the' full screen weather' link on your WU page. There you position the map and check the box for weather stations. Use the link tab on the map to get the URL for your map.

Thanks! That is exactly what I'm looking for, the only thing is that I cannot get the image to display(?) Here is the code I'm using:

Maybe drop it in an i-frame?
         <div align="center"><iframe src="http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?brand=wxmap&query=38.38897,-81.56257&lat=38.38897&lon=-81.56257&zoom=9&type=terrain&units=english&rad=0&sat=0&svr=0&cams=0&tor=0&wxsn=1&wxsn.mode=temp&wxsn.bcdgtemp=false&wxsn.opa=50&pep=0" frameborder="1" scrolling="no" height="600" width="800" align="middle"></iframe>
        </div>
